Have People Gone Quite Mad?

Have People Gone Quite Mad?

By BB (4-24-14)

 

What a sad day for the State of Georgia--

Can any bozo there get a gun?--

When the state loosened gun restrictions!

How much sense does this make? None!

 

This growing fascination with weapons

That we can observe occurring here

Puts us all in greater danger

As reasoning faculties disappear.

 

“Protect yourselves from the bad guys with weapons”;

“More guns will make us safer,” they say.

You don’t have to be a genius to see

The powerful influence of the NRA.

 

The gun lobbyists have wily convinced

The American people that our gun law fights

Are all about protecting what

They think are Second Amendment rights.

 

Billionaires and lobbyists control

Our nation with the ludicrous pretense

That they’re looking out for our best interest--

A major affront to our common sense!

 

Smarter--NOT unrestricted--laws

Are the kinds of laws that will protect us

And not foolhardy legislation

To which our paranoid leaders subject us.

 

What a slap in the face to someone

Who’s lost a loved one in a violent killing!

The callous indifference of firearm fanatics

Is not only scary but also bone chilling.

 

So guns everywhere will protect our kids?

Sandy Hook should be a reminder.

Have people gone quite mad, or what?

Instead of seeing clearly, many have grown blinder.
